Chaplain for a week. . .

Today started my week tour as a chaplain for Modesto P.D. Last weeks car vs. van was filling in for someone else. MPD has purchased a new Chaplains car for us to drive. Its a hybrid "prius". I spent my first ten minutes in it trying to figure out how to turn it on. It has no key! There is a power button like on your computer and a little gear shift on the dash. It is a cool tool for MPD and I am greatful to the city fathers for purchasing this for us.

Pray that God will allow us to do great things for him this week. Pray for peace in the city!

Personal Response . . .

Today is the anniversary of my father's death. As a grief professional, minister/chaplain/spiritual care advisor and hospice grief group moderator, I always thought I had it together and under control. The last few weeks since dad's birthday have been miserable, in fact the last year has been melancholy at best. Today will be a day of reflection and a time to make decisions on how to get out of this funk or cloud that has enveloped my being. I am ready to move on, I hope I can get my emotions to follow. Today pray for me to be a better husband, father, minister and friend to all that I contact. Pray for me to stop procrastination. Pray for me to be mobilized in the war on Satan.
